allowing the tailgater to go by and get whatever speeding ticket awaits them, yet doesn't, my opinion is that individual is also contributing to the dangerous behavior.

I don't understand the desire or need to block others. I never have a problem with tailgaters, I just let them go by. Probably most of the time they get away with speeding, sometimes they don't. Either way, it takes any stress off of me.

And if they're gonna drive dangerously, I'd rather they be in front of me getting farther away than riding my ass fuming and pissing me off.
